I'm a Bonnells Bay resident, so if your looking for a weekend ride let me know.

The local roads are a little rubbish (surface, shoulder etc) but ok. The Loop the Lake is a good fun ride. Heading out over 'The Gap' into the Hunter Valley and rolling around there is nice. If you wanted to meet your Mrs in Newcastle you can do a loop out and back in to town via Hexham. If you're in Newcastle I would certainly recommend doing a loop around the foreshore/Merewether - beautiful on a sunny day.

There are plenty of Strava segments around so have a look and give me a shout if you want.

(Long time BNA stalker comes out of hiding to offer this response!)

Hi Bradey Boy,Welcome out of hiding - I stalked for a year before my first post haha.

Thanks for the offer - will you be doing the Loop the Lake this year? The rough plan is a 3 days in Newcastle city, then drive down to Bonnels Bay to stay for 4 days and finishing up in the Hunter Valley for a couple of nights.Once things are more organised I might give you a message and we can organise a ride. Cant wait to see some of the countryside there.
